A lot going on in 3 days! QNS, the package arrived on Friday and was waiting for me when I got home. Cookies and milk, hummm good. Thanks so much. Can you pm me your snail mail address? I have something for you too. Jan, I've never heard if the quit designer either but boy is that a beautiful quilt. I have a pattern for an appliqué one but haven't tackled it yet. I thought it would be nice for hand work in the evening but it does take a lot of prep work. QuiltE, so happy for you that you are SEWING! Your snowman is adorable. Mirabelle, you have a lot going on too. Your Bono quilt will be gorgeous! I liking having several different things to work on. I don't get bored so easy by doing the same pattern all of the time. Dubib, Wonderful news of your DDIL and quilts don't have to be for special ocassionally. I had a wonderful visit with my family. I delivered the 2 house quilts and the parents loved them. I also found out that i will be grandma again next May. I thought I discerned a baby bump but my son wouldn't give me a straight answer. They had planned on the oldest GD making the announcement and didn't want to steal her thunder. They also announced that DDIL will be made partner at the law firm Jan 1. She is in immigration law in Chicago. I stopped at a couple of quilt shops and improved their economy. I found a backing that is perfect for the Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, some more blue and white which was hard to find in the past, a KT bundle if FQs and a bundle if cream FQs which is really pretty. I've never purchases bundles before but they were a good price and the store really needed the business. The owner said she hadn't gotten any if the latest fabrics because she has inventory that needed to be sold first. Just had to help the lady out! Thought of you Carrie and found something to add to the BB package just for you. I haven't sewn a stitch in three days and I'm ready to get at it. Have a great day, everyone!
